Purpose: To determine distances using the length of your stride.
Data Tables:
Determining your pace:
Trial
Number of steps
1
2
3
Average # of steps:
Hallway
Number of steps
Distance
% error
By art room
Library to guidance
By main doors
Length of lockers
Near cafeteria
Length of ramp
Sample Calculations:
Average length of stride = distance of hallway/average # of steps
Distance of hallway = (# of steps)(average length of stride)
% error = [|calculated distance - actual distance|/(actual distance)]*100
Questions:
How good are you at measuring? (look at your percent error)
What could you do to be more accurate?
How can you use what you learned in this lab during your trip to Knoebel's?
Conclusion - Include purpose, results, discussion, and errors
Actually values:
1. Line outside choir room to doors outside health room - 65.82 m
2. Middle of library doors (ones towards business wing) to where tiles change outside of guidance - 55.85 m
3. Indian head statue to doors by room 134 - 50.62 m
4. Length of lockers (on left) on the way to the courtyard - 6.22 m
5. Change of tiles by cafeteria to the crack in the tiles (past water fountain) - 11.81 m
6. Length of ramp - 6.46 m
